I have driven down that way countless times, and the weird thing is usually people are NOT playing bball there. at least I never see them playing like u do at most other parks. I didn't even know they had lights out there in order to be playing at 10pm.

Im not too familiar with the area even though I dont stay far from there. We're moving though, we going to move into the house we were remodeling in the Beverly area and put our 2 flat on the market. Are you looking to become a landlord? Lol I'll send the link to the listing.

I have been a landlord once before, and that was a disaster. I am NOT interested in that at all.

great question. cuz they certainly kill much people than any arab country. and they are a domestic threat. wish we could take a fraction of the defense budget we are squadering in the middle east and apply it here for resources that could squash this problem.

if they did that people would be crying about racism.

What I dont get is when shyt happens like this, some black folks love to blame it on White people (government & citizens) not caring.
If they brought in police to lock down those areas, then those same people would start crying about racial profiling etc...
The police are damned no matter what they do.


But Chicago isnt a bad city. The majority of it is really nice. Its just certain blocks/areas.

An update......

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-mass-shooting-20130924,0,5829388.story

By Rosemary Regina Sobol, Jeremy Gorner, Lolly Bowean and Carlos Sadovi Tribune reporters
1:45 p.m. CDT, September 24, 2013

Two men in their 20s opened fire into a park on the South Side -- wounding a 3-year-old boy and 12 other people -- after one of the men had been grazed by a bullet hours earlier, police said today.

They did not aim at anyone in particular but "just shot into the park" because they believed it was controlled by a rival gang, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters.


Police identified the gang member out for vengeance as Bryon Champ, 21. Armed with an assault-style rifle, he fired more than a dozen rounds into the crowd of people at a basketball court at Cornell Square Park in the Back of the Yards neighborhood Thursday night, police said. Police said it was a miracle no one died.

Champ was accompanied by Tabari Young, 22, who also fired into the park, police said. Kewane Gatewood, 20, supplied the high-powered gun Champ used, while Brad Jett, 22, acted as a lookout, police said.

Prosecutors said all four suspects have admitted to participating in the shooting. They are being held without bail.

The mass shooting had its beginnings earlier in the day when Champ suffered a graze wound to his leg, McCarthy said. "When Mr. Champ was shot, he believed a rival gang controlled the park and that's where they went." Champ and Young did not target anyone in particular but "just shot into the park," McCarthy said.

Champ is a Black P Stone gang member and was wounded in a shooting involving rival Gangster Disciples, according to Assistant State’s Attorney John Dillon.

Gatewood, 20, had been keeping an AK-47-style rifle for Champ under his bed at home for a few months, according to Dillon. After he was grazed by the bullet, Champ asked Gatewood to bring the weapon to a house where Champ hung out, the prosecutor said.

Champ and another person went looking for rival gang members and spotted them at Cornell Square Park, Dillon said. A second car went to the park as well to provide cover from police and rival gang members, Dillon said. Champ and Young both opened fire at the park, the prosecutor said.
According to Dillon, Jett acted as a lookout by a gangway by the park.

Champ had been convicted of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon in July 2012 and was sentenced to boot camp at the Cook County Department of Corrections. McCarthy said the mass shooting likely would not have occurred had he gotten jail time instead.


"He received boot camp for that gun crime and was back out on the streets to be a part of this senseless shooting," McCarthy said. "That is unacceptable. To truly address violence for the long-term, we need state and federal laws that keep illegal guns out of our communities and provide real punishment for the criminals who use them."

Mayor Rahm Emanuel released a statement calling for a three-year minimum sentence for illegally carrying a gun.

"One of the shooters should have been behind bars rather than in Cornell Park on Thursday night. As we invest heavily in programs for youth, in new policing strategies, and in building supports for those most likely to fall into gangs, we also need a three-year mandatory minimum bill for gun crimes," he said.

McCarthy said the investigation was continuing and more people may be charged.

The shooting erupted on a warm night when neighbors had gathered at the park and several of them were playing on the basketball court, including the youngest victim, 3-year-old Deonta Howard. A bullet hit the boy in the ear and exited his cheek.

His mother, Shamarah Leggett, 24, told the Tribune that her son is making a quick recovery, walking around his hospital room and refusing to take off his brand new Nikes when he sleeps. She said Deonta was expected to go home in a few days, but he will require plastic surgery when the swelling goes down.

Leggett was at her son's bedside when police announced the charges this morning. Deonta was watching cartoons.

"I'm really happy, I've been praying for this. I want to go see them face to face and talk to these people," she said. "They shouldn't even be able to get a bond. I think it's crazy. Man, they just need to stop the violence. It's beyond out of control."

Leggett had earlier said her son had taken a late nap and she had taken him out with her to the park so he could get some exercise so he would go to sleep.

While she expects to tell her son that the men who shot him were caught, she says she can't tell him not to be afraid.

"The shootings are still going to go on, so I can't tell him he shouldn't be afraid because he's still in the world," Leggett said. "But I can tell him that the people who did this to him, God took care of them, it's OK. God took care of him too."

Family and friends of some of the suspects said they did not believe the allegations against them.
